suburban Homes on Il. md o.

Washington city has no adjacent territory
60 desirable for suburban residences as that
lying along the Metropolitan Branch OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The country
is elevated beyond the malarial influences
that invest the city, has almost perfect nat
ural drainage, is beautifully wooded,
abounds In springs Of purest water, is trav-
ersed by smooth and well kept wagon roads
and has adequate train facilities. All these
advantages are possessed by no other region
within easy reach, and they have already
lured many OF the denizens Of the town, as
is evidenced by the number Of handsome
villas and cosy cottages that adorn the
Landscape, seen from the windows OF the
train.
To those who must bear the heat and bur-
den OF Washington day In midsummer,
the suburban retreats along tho Metropoli-
tan Branch afford refuge where the ex-
hausted energies revive under the quiet but
potent stimulus Of verdant lawn, shaded
paths and the cooling breeze that comes
laden with the perfume Of the flower-decked
fields and bears healing balm from the pine
woods upon It's wings.
The low charges for quarterly, monthly and
other classes OF communication tickets place
the pleasures and benefits Of summer
home In the country within the reach OF
persons Of even moderate income.
The train service, while ample at present,
will receive additions as the convenience Of
patrons and the needs Of the traffic require.
Pocket timetables, showing movement Of
trains and rates OF fare for communication
tickets, can be procured at ticket Offices OF
the company, 1851 Pennsylvania avenue,
6l0 Pennsylvania avenue aud depot corner
New Jersey avenue and street, or will be
mailed to any address upon application to

Don't Experiment.

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-
perimenting when your lungs are in danger.
Consumption always seems, at first, only a
cold. Do not permit any dealer to impose
upon you with some cheap imitation of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
coughs and colds, but be sure you get the
genuine. Because he can make more profit
he may tell you he has something just as
good or just the same. Don't be deceived,
but insist upon getting DR.. Kings New
Discovery, which is guaranteed to give re-
lief in all throat, lung and chest affections.

Unsuitable thirst for liquor that had SO pros.
trated his system that he was unable to do
any business. He was entirely cured by the
use OF Hop Btters. 1t allayed all that
burning thirst took away the appetite for
liquor; made his nerves steady; and he has
remained a steady and sober man for more
than two years, and has no desire to return
to his cups, and | know OF number OF
others that have been cured OF drinking by
it."-From leading Il. X. Official, Chi

is restored to us in good health by Hop

lions to the Upper Glasses Announced
Yesterday A Remarkably Fine
Showing.
The examinations at the High school were
finished yesterday. Principal Curtis and
Vice Principal Whitmore will at o'clock
o-day meet the committee on schools of the
board of education and soon after the per-
centage will be decided upon which shall
constitute the limit for admission to the
school, and then the names of the fortunate
ones will be given to the press. Fifty per
cent is the usual limit on the respective
studies. About 40 come into the lowest
class of the High school from the graduating
classes of the grammar schools without ex-
animation. About 140 others have been
undergoing the examinations at the High
school this week. Ordinarily not over Is
per cent of those examined are rejected.
Last year the applications numbered about
$50. This year they number about $50.
Last years new class numbered about 225;
this year it will number about 800. Proba-
bly, about 80 of the $50 will be rejected.
Yesterday the result of the examinations
of High school members for promotion was
announced and the showing is unusually ex-
cellent. The fourth class this year made
the best showing ever made by fourth class
at the school-only fifteen out of about two
hundred failed of promotion. With the
third class the result was equally salts
factory, only five failing of promotion out of
one hundred; and out of the junior class OF
eighty only three failed to become seniors.
